dr seuss

so i was about to grab a quick shower tonight, when i walked past von's room and saw this picture-perfect-moment. yup, it melted my heart too. hand hand, fingers, thumb was tonight's selection, with von's little legs 'thudding' on the floor for the occasional dramatic effect, hehee. (josh has a great jimmy stewart-like voice and is a phenomenal narrator/story-teller)

good ol' weekend

von had some visitors this weekend .. the PA crew! we went to spragues for breakfast *yum*, swam at the ymca, played around the house, and got in lots of hugging and snuggling. it's sure to be an adventure when you get us all under one roof :)

(oh, and the overall consensus is that the v-man is starting to get more hair)

binkies

so mommy & daddy bought me all these snazzy things called 'binkies' that are supposed to help with this whole teething process, but i'm having fun just chewing on them!

rare

here's something you dont see very often .. napping! we're getting better though.
von went for his 6 month check-up last week and here are his latest stats:

• 17 pounds (23 percentile) and 27 & 3/4 inches (75 percentile) of happy baby boy

yup, he's still a string bean, so we're gonna work on putting some lbs on him!!
i took a look at my baby book and apparently i was a tad larger (21 pounds and 28 & 1/2 inches) compared to von at this age. we'll have to get josh's stats and post them to compare as well.

yet another 21st of the month, sigh ...

which book should i read this morning, mom? you do know i can read since i'm 7 months old today, right??

$5

it's amazing what $5 at target can buy you ... not just a tote to put toys in, but a magical cube that von could sit in/play with forever :)

fresh air

we walked as much as possible this past week since old man winter gave us a break for a few days. exercise and naps were at an all time high :) the snow is back though, so we'll have to dust off the stroller again when spring comes around (hopefully soon).
